While he may have given several hits like 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jaenge' and 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi', he has seldom been tapped. Yes, we are talking about Aditya Chopra who turned 50 today. Running the YRF Studios from behind the scenes, he is a force to reckon with in the Hindi film industry and still very rarely does he attract any media spotlight or has pictures of him flooding the internet. In fact, there's a joke that he doesn't even exist!

Clearing all doubts of Aditya's existence on his 50th birthday is his close friend and filmmaker-producer Karan Johar who took to his Instagram handle on the occasion of the filmmaker's special day, to share a heartfelt note. 

Recalling memories, movies and moments, KJo described Aditya as an 'unstoppable visionary'. Jokingly he also mentioned that Aditya Chopra exists! 

Sharing a throwback photo from two decades ago accompanied by Aditya, Karan Johar wrote, "And just like that he's 50! So many memories ... so many movies... so many moments... He remains an unstoppable visionary! Silently and solidly takes on the studio mantle and creates barometers for everyone! Happy birthday to my mentor, best friend and chachu to my kids! Love you so much Adi! ( yes yes he exists!!)."

He revealed the picture was clicked in Goa and was clicked by none other than their close friend, superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Karan also hinted that the little kid in the picture is Aryan Khan. 

Karan added, "pic courtesy @iamsrk with us being dutiful uncles in goa! Two decades ago!"
